Estelle Getty, aka Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls, passed away today.
The Kansas City Star put together this great list of Sophia lines from imdb....
Sophia: Picture it: Sicily…
Dorothy (Sophia’s daughter, played by Beatrice Arthur): Hi, Ma. Where are you going?
Sophia: To the boardwalk. I like to watch the old guys rearrange themselves when they come out of the water.
Blanche (Rue McClanahan): I treat my body like a temple.
Sophia: Yeah, open to everyone, day or night.
Blanche: What do you think of my new dress? Is it me?
Sophia: It’s too tight, it’s too short and shows too much cleavage for a woman your age.
Dorothy: Yes, Blanche. It’s you.
Blanche: We just rented that movie “Aliens.” It scared us half to death.
Sophia: I found it scary, too. That Sigourney Weaver is a sweet girl but she really shouldn’t go without makeup.
Rose (Betty White): Everybody likes me.
Sophia: I don’t!
Rose: Oh, you just say that, Sophia.
Sophia: REPEATEDLY!
Stan (Dorothy’s ex, played by Herbert Edelman): Hello, Sophia, you’re looking younger every day.
Sophia: Hi Stan, and that’s a beautiful toupee you’re wearing. Great, now we’re both liars.
Dorothy: Well, Blanche is certainly taking her sister’s novel better than I would. I would kill my sister Gloria if she ever wrote about my sex life.
Sophia: You would kill your sister over a pamphlet?
Contractor: Do you want it fast or do you want it good?
Sophia: Before you answer that, Blanche, the man’s talking about a guest room.
Miles Webber (one of Rose’s boyfriends): Rose, I’ve never met anyone quite like you.
Sophia: Check the corn field on “Hee-Haw.”
Sophia: Come on, Blanche.
Rose: I’m Rose.
Sophia: Simple mistake. Means nothing.
Dorothy: Ma, Rose isn’t talking to me.
Sophia: Enjoy it while it lasts.
Blanche: Oh girls ... I’m just in ecstasy. My body is tingling all over. You will never guess what just happened.
Sophia: We know what happened. Let us just guess what part of the Middle East he’s from.
Sophia: Ow.
Dorothy: What is it, Ma?
Sophia: Pain.
Dorothy: What kind of pain?
Sophia: The kind that hurts.
Blanche: I have writer’s block. It’s the worst feeling in the world.
Sophia: Try 10 days without a bowel movement sometime.
Rose: Here you are, Sophia. The perfect after-dinner treat, a nice dish of Jell-O.
Sophia: I hate Jell-O. If God wanted peaches suspended in midair, he would have filled them with helium.
Blanche: Sophia, I need you.
Sophia: Blanche, you were strong and independent long before I got here.
Rose: I need you too, Sophia.
Sophia: Rose, you need the Wizard of Oz.
Blanche: I don’t really mind (my brother) Clayton being homosexual, I just don’t like him dating men.
Dorothy: You really haven’t grasped the concept of this gay thing yet, have you, Blanche?
Blanche: Well there must be homosexuals who date women.
Sophia: Yeah. They’re called lesbians.
Sophia: Hey, Sicilians can always recognize two things: when someone is telling the truth, and when they’ve had their fingerprints changed.
Blanche: Well, we have two choices: go and beg Ernie’s forgiveness, or hire another contractor.
Sophia: Or we could use the Sicilian method. We burn down the house, collect the fire insurance money and move to a beautiful beachside house in California. Personally, I vote for choice three.
